    It would be nice if we were to allowed to give nicknames to our machines. You can do this with Finale and Mackie products.

    It's real hassle when I have two licenses of software and the only way I can identify which machines by a long list of numbers that are almost similar.

    It's easy to make mistakes when you have to of the same software and you used the wrong serial number that doesn't match the machine's ID.

    I'd suggest allowing users to nickname their machines to make registration/reactivation easy.

    Great. Plus it would be nice if I could change the serial# if I accidently used the wrong one on a different profile.
    I have two copies of GPO and I may have the wrong serial # on the wrong machine.

    For technical reasons it is not possible to change the serial number for an existing system id online, since the serial number is part of the hardware profile generation and a fixed component of the system id. You might be able to fix a specific problem by changing the serial number on your audio computer directly in Service Center (Product details page under Main menu). This will modify the system id and requires another activation process though.
